Lapierre X-control 310 2010 - Full Suspension Mountain Bike
Lapierre X-control 310 2010 - Full Suspension Mountain Bike Full Suspension Mountain Bikes Over pound 1000 Lapierre Lapierre X-Control 310. The is a lightweight cross country bike which features the FPS2 suspension system for maximum comfort and control over almost any terrain. Cross Country MTB- By Lapierre For more than 15 years- Lapierre has experienced great success on the national and international XC race circuit. Relentlessly improved by their best riders (Cécile- Cédric- Jean-Paul- Pierre-Geoffroy- and the rest of their teammates) the cross-country range meets all your riding needs (technical trails or more relaxed paths- high-altitude riding or in the woods). Lapierre's cross country range is perfect for both experienced competitors and more relaxed riders- whatever the terrain or distance. From the Pro Race to the more versatile X-Control- the lightest- nicest- and most efficient bike are from Lapierre.Whether you are riding a MTB or a road bike- comfort and efficiency first come from a frame that is adapted to the cyclist’s morphology Shorter top tube A more compact frame to get on / off the bike easier A smaller and lighter frame that gives the best position while riding while distributing your weight evenly on the bike- so as to optimize every pedal stroke FPS2 Suspension System For 2010- the FPS platform- which can be found on the X-Control and DH models- benefits from improved hydraulics. The patented FPS (Full Power Suspension) platform was presented for the first time in 2001 on the very first X-Control. Since then- this virtual pivot point system has proven its worth and lived through several evolutions- but it is still based on the same principles: the existence of an equilibrium point when the rider is on the bike and a counteraction proportional to any force that would otherwise produce pedal bob. For 2010- the FPS2 platform- which can be found on the X-Control and DH models- benefits from improved hydraulics. Low-speed compression damping has been optimized- as well as high-speed transitions. The result: an even more efficient mountain bike. The FPS2 suspension platform eliminates pedal kickback even when the rider is climbing out of the saddle. With each pedal stroke- the tension in the chain prevents the rear swing arm from moving away from its equilibrium point- improving stability and eliminating kickback. The rear wheel benefits from perfect adherence- for excellent grip and efficiency. A virtual pivot point system uses two linkages to connect the rear swing arm to the front triangle. The characteristic that is unique to the FPS2 system is the fact that there is a specific equilibrium point when the rider is on the bike. When the point of equilibrium is found- the virtual pivot point is aligned with the chain. The tension in the chain prevents any bob- and- therefore- the act of pedalling actually fights against pedal bob: if any bobbing action were to try to move the swing arm away from its equilibrium point- the effort of pedalling will automatically bring it back to this position. The FPS2 system is constantly correcting itself. The FPS2 system also allows for both positive and negative rear travel. In other words- when the rider is on the bike- the rear wheel can move up (for example- when there is an obstacle) and down (for example- when there is a hole). The result is exceptional comfort and adherence. For perfect alignment and optimal performance- we’ve created an indicator to set the equilibrium point- which is directly linked to the rider’s weight. approximate delivery 5 days Available Sizes: Lapierre X-Control 310 2010 - 41cm Frame To Order 3-5 Working Days Lapierre X-Control 310 2010 - 46cm Frame To Order 3-5 Working Days Lapierre X-Control 310 2010 - 52cm Fr £1399.99 + Add to my saved list
